CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No.16/464,255 filed on May 24, 2019, which claims priority to and thebenefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0158427 filed in theKorean Intellectual Property Office on Nov. 25, 2016, the entirecontents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to database management, and moreparticularly, to an improved method of replicating and storing data in adatabase.

BACKGROUND ART

A database means a set of data integrated and managed so as to be sharedand used by multiple persons. The database may be used in banks, onlineshopping malls, in-house management systems, and the like.

Current database systems allow storing and retrieving a large amount ofinformation. Some of the information may include, for example, sensitiveinformation such as a credit card number, etc. In particular, thesecurity of a database for collecting and managing personal informationin financial institutions, Internet portal sites, and the like isrequired to prevent an unauthorized user from determining or improperlyrecording information processed by a computer, to protect an informationprocessing service of an authorized user from being denied by a computersystem, and to guarantee integrity, confidentiality, and availability ofthe data in a database management system that holds a large amount ofdata.

Various solutions are being studied in order to prevent loss of data. Inparticular, considering a recent environment in which many industrialfields including banking, shopping, bookings, and the like areperforming services on the Internet, database backup and replicationprocesses are very important to prevent a fatal blow such as data lossor service interruption due to the nature of an Internet site. Thebackup prepares and saves a copy of the data that is being worked on, soas to prepare for the loss or deletion of data due to user's mistake,computer error, virus infection, etc., whereas the replication which isto store the same data in multiple servers simultaneously in order toincrease reliability and availability as described above is a concept ofimmediately restoring the service by inputting another server eventhough a failure occurs in a main server.

In a solution for preventing the loss of the data by replicating thedatabase, when the data is backed up to another database, there is arisk that the sensitive information will be lost. Thus, there is ademand in the art for solutions that replicate the databases whilemaintaining the confidentiality of confidential information.

Korean Patent Unexamined Publication No. 10-2005-0064278 discloses adatabase replication device.

Accordingly, there is a need for a CDC technology which is capable ofdecreasing a delay for data synchronization between a source databaseand a target database and does not cause a problem for datasynchronization even when a table structure is changed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure has been made in an effort to replicate adatabase including security data.

An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides anon-transitory computer readable medium including a computer programincluding encoded commands. The computer program causes one or moreprocessors of a computer system to perform steps for a change datacapture (CDC) between a first database and a second database whenexecuted by one or more processors of the computer system and the stepsmay include: extracting data in a redo log of a first database by afirst management module, the data including an encrypted column dataincluded in an encrypted column and a non-encrypted column data includedin a non-encrypted column; identifying, by a first management module,whether the data extracted is the encrypted column data included in theencrypted column; and determining, by the first management module, tochange the encrypted data included in the encrypted column to null dataand to transmit the encrypted data, when the extracted data is theencrypted column data.

Alternatively, the encrypted column data may be the data encrypted witha first database unique key when the data is stored in a first storagemedium.

Alternatively, the steps may further include: receiving, by a firsttransceiver module, a request for the encrypted column data transmittedfrom the second database; in response to the request, generating, by thefirst management module, decrypted encrypted column data by querying theencrypted column data from a table of the first database; generating, bya first security module, re-encrypted encrypted column data byencrypting the decrypted encrypted column data with a first securitymodule key, so that a second security module of the second databasedecrypts with a second security module key; and determining to transmitthe re-encrypted encrypted column data to the second database.

Alternatively, the generating of the change data may include generatingthe change data by reproducing the transaction performed in the firstdatabase with respect to the data transmitted from the first database bymodifying the encrypted column into the null data.

Alternatively, the steps may further include recording the changed datain a table of a second database by the second management module, whereinthe change data includes a value of data included in a non-encryptedcolumn and the null data.

Alternatively, the steps may further include: receiving, by the secondtransceiver module, encrypted column data re-encrypted with a firstsecurity module key of the first database transmitted from the firstdatabase; generating, by the second security module, the decryptedencrypted column data by decrypting the re-encrypted encrypted columndata with a second security module key; and updating, by the secondmanagement module, the decrypted encrypted column data in a table of asecond database.

Alternatively, the updating, by the second management module, thedecrypted encrypted column data in a table of a second database mayinclude recording the decrypted encrypted column data into a secondstorage medium of the second database by modifying the data in theencrypted column of the table of the second database, in which the nulldata is recorded into the decrypted encrypted column data.

Yet another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides adatabase for change data capture between a first database and a seconddatabase.

The description of the presented exemplary embodiments is provided sothat those skilled in the art of the present disclosure use or implementthe present disclosure. Various modifications of the exemplaryembodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art and generalprinciples defined herein can be applied to other exemplary embodimentswithout departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Therefore,the present disclosure is not limited to the exemplary embodimentspresented herein, but should be analyzed within the widest range whichis consistent with the principles and new features presented herein.

FIGS. 1A and 1B are block diagrams of a first database and a seconddatabase, respectively, according to an exemplary embodiment of thepresent disclosure.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a first database100 and a second database 200 may include security modules 110 and 210,management modules 130 and 230, transceiver modules 150 and 250, storagemedia 170 and 270, respectively. The first database 100 may include adatabase server. The second database 200 may also similarly include thedatabase server.

The first transceiver module 150 communicates with the secondtransceiver module 250 of the second database to transmit/receive data.The first transceiver module 150 may transmit/receive a table 300, dataof the table, a redo log, null data, non-encrypted column data 310,re-encrypted encrypted column data 335, etc., with the second database200. Further, the first transceiver module 150 may receive a request forthe data 300 included in the encrypted column from the second database200.

The first transceiver module 150 and the second transceiver module 250may include a wired/wireless Internet module for network access. As thewireless Internet technology, wireless LAN (WLAN) (Wi-Fi), wirelessbroadband (Wibro), world interoperability for microwave access (Wimax),high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), or the like, may be used. Aswired Internet technology, a digital subscriber line (XDSL), fibers tothe home (FTTH), power line communication (PLC), or the like may beused.

The first and second storage media 170 and 270 may store the table 300.In the table 300, some columns may be encrypted (330) in order toprotect sensitive information. The encrypted column 330 stored in thestorage media 170 and 270 may be decrypted and queried in the managementmodules 130 and 230. Some columns including the sensitive informationare encrypted and stored in the tables stored in the storage media 170and 270, so that even when the storage media 170 and 270 themselves arestolen, security for sensitive data may be maintained. Since it isinefficient to encrypt the entire table, only some columns may beencrypted and stored in the storage media 170 and 270.

The first and second storage media 170 and 270 include a magneticstorage device (for example, a hard disk, a floppy disk, a magneticstrip, or the like), an optical disk (for example, a CD, a DVD, or thelike), a smart card, and a flash memory device (for example, an EEPROM,a card, a stick, a key drive, or the like), but are not limited thereto.The first and second storage media 170 and 270 may include predeterminedstorage media for non-transitorily and persistently storing data in thedatabase.

The management modules 130 and 230 may perform operations for ChangeData Capture (CDC). The management modules 130 and 230 may performnormal operations of a database management system and may be separatemodules separated from the database management system. The databasemanagement system may encrypt data with a key thereof when recordingdata to the storage media 170 and 270 in order to maintain the securityof the sensitive data and the management modules 130 and 230 may queryencrypted data through a database management system (not illustrated).

As illustrated in FIG. 2, it is assumed that a table including a name(column 1), a sex (column 2), an employment number (column 3), and anannual salary (column 4, encrypted column) exists. It is assumed that avalue of each column is inserted into (Hong Gil-dong, M, 1604, 30million won) (301) and updated to (Go Gil-dong, F, 1705, 40 million won)(302). The first management module 130 may extract, from the redo log,data (in the example of FIG. 2, (Hong Gil-dong, M, 1604, %%%% (encrypted30 million won) and (Go Gil-dong, F, 1705, $%$% (encrypted 40 millionwon))) (303). The first management module 130 may identify that column 4is the encrypted column data. In this case, the first management module130 may determine to security-process the encrypted column data andtransfer the encrypted column data to the second database 200. Sincecolumn 4 is the encrypted column data, the first management module 130may change the data of column 4 to the null data (in the example of FIG.2, null) (304). When the data 304 extracted from the redo log isreceived by the second database, the second management module 230 of thesecond database 200 reproduces the transaction performed in the firstdatabase 100 and performs processing for the transaction before committo generate change data 305. Here, the data extracted from the redo log,which is received by the second database 200 may include data of thenon-encrypted column and data of the encrypted column processed as thenull data by the first management module 130. Here, the change data mayinclude non-encrypted column data for the data of the non-encryptedcolumn and may be in a state in which a data value is null for theencrypted column.

In this case, for the data of the encrypted column, the change data maybe generated in a state (for example, null) in which the data of theencrypted column is a value replaced by the first security module 110.Further, the second management module 230 of the second database 200 maydetermine to request the encrypted column data (the data of column 4 inthe example of FIG. 2) corresponding to the null data.

The first management module 130 may attempt to access the encryptedcolumn data with a right for the encrypted column data in response to arequest for the encrypted column data from the second database 200.Here, when the table of the first database 100 is changed, the firstmanagement module 130 may obtain the encrypted column data through aflashback query in column 4, for example, in the example of FIG. 2. Inresponse to the request, the first management module 130 may generatethe decrypted encrypted column data 333 by querying the encrypted columndata 331 in the table 311 of the first database. The first securitymodule 110 may generate the re-encrypted encrypted column data 335 byencrypting the decrypted encrypted column data 333 with the firstsecurity module key so as for the second security module 210 of thesecond database to decrypt the decrypted encrypted column data 333 witha second security module key. The first security module key and thesecond security module key may be symmetric keys, and the first securitymodule 110 and the second security module 210 may exchange the symmetrickeys in advance through a predetermined key exchange algorithm.

The second security module 210 decrypts re-encrypted encrypted columndata 335 with the second security module key to generate the decryptedencrypted column data 333. The second management module 230 may causethe decrypted encrypted column data 333 to be updated to the table 300of the database. The second management module 230 may modify theencrypted column data of the table of the second database to which anull value is recorded in the decrypted encrypted column data to beencrypted and recorded in the second storage medium 270 of the seconddatabase. In this case, the second database 200 may encrypt thedecrypted encrypted column data with the unique key of the seconddatabase, the unique key of the second database as the unique key of thesecond database may be different from the unique key of the firstdatabase, and the value encrypted with the unique key of the seconddatabase may be different from the value encrypted with the unique keyof the first database.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, sincethe data of the encrypted column is re-encrypted by the security moduleand transferred from the first database to the second database, it ispossible to solve the security problem that the data of the encryptedcolumn is exposed onto the network in a decrypted state.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, the data included in the table 300 may bequeried through the first management module 130 and the databasemanagement system (not illustrated) in the first storage medium 170. Thedata included in the table 300 may include the encrypted column 330 andthe non-encrypted column 330. A table of reference numeral 311illustrated in FIG. 3 which represents a table in which some columns areencrypted and stored on the first storage medium 170 may include theencrypted column 330 and the non-encrypted column 310. A table ofreference numeral 313 illustrated in FIG. 3 as a table queried by thefirst management module 130 represents a table indicating a state inwhich the encrypted column 330 is decrypted and a table of referencenumeral 315 is a table indicating a state in which the encrypted column330 is re-encrypted by the first security module 110. Encrypting alldata of the table is high in security but low in efficiency and maydegrade performance of the database, and as a result, the databasemanagement system (not illustrated) may encrypt only some columns andstore the encrypted columns in the storage media 170 and 270. Theencrypted column 330 as a column including the sensitive data may beencrypted and recorded in the first storage medium 170 in order tomaintain the security. The non-encrypted column 330 as a columnincluding data with a somewhat lower need for the security may berecorded in the first storage medium 170 while not being encrypted. Whenreading the data recorded in the first storage medium 170, the databasemanagement system (not illustrated) may decrypt the data of theencrypted column 330 and use the decrypted data in the case of atransaction having a legitimate right to access the encrypted column330. The first management module 130 may query the encrypted column 330.The data of the encrypted column of the first database may be encryptedwith a unique key of the first database and stored in the first storagemedium 170 and the data of the encrypted column in the redo log of thefirst database may be encrypted with the unique key of the firstdatabase. The unique key of the first database may be different from theunique key of the second database. Therefore, when the redo log itselfis transmitted to the second database 200, a problem may occur in whichthe encrypted column may not be decrypted in the second database 200.Therefore, the first management module 130 needs to transfer to thesecond database 200 an access right to the encrypted column of the tableof the first database 100 by securing data decrypted by the firstmanagement module 130, but a security problem may occur when thedecrypted data is transferred to the second database 200 through acommon network. Accordingly, according to an exemplary embodiment of thepresent disclosure, the first security module 110 re-encrypts the dataof the encrypted column decrypted by the legitimate access right andtransfers the re-encrypted data of the encrypted column to the seconddatabase 200, thereby preventing a security problem in which the data ofthe decrypted encrypted column is exposed onto the network.

The first management module 130 may determine to capture change data ofthe first database 100 and transfer the captured change data to thesecond database 200. To this end, the first management module 130 mayextract data from the redo log of the first database 100. The firstmanagement module 130 may identify whether the extracted data is theencrypted column data included in the encrypted column 330. When theextracted data is the encrypted column data, the first management module130 may determine to change the encrypted column data to null data andtransfer the null data to the second database 200. The null data is astate there is no data and an empty state and the first managementmodule 130 may change the encrypted column data to null data andtransfer the null data to the second database 200. The first securitymodule 110 encrypts decrypted encrypted column data 333 with a firstsecurity module key to generate re-encrypted encrypted column data 335.

FIG. 4 is a schematic view illustrating encryption and decryption of adata table in a second database according to an exemplary embodiment ofthe present disclosure.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for replication of adatabase, which is performed in first and second databases according toan exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

The first database 100 may extract data from the redo log (401). Thedata may include encrypted column data included in an encrypted columnof a table and non-encrypted column data included in a non-encryptedcolumn. In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, in a table including aname (column 1), sex (column 2), employee number (column 3), and salary(column 4, encrypted column), when each column is inserted into (HongGil-dong, M, 1604, 30 million won) (301) and updated to (Go Gil-dong, F,1705, 40 million won) (302), the first database 100 may extract (HongGil-dong, M, 1604, %%%% (encrypted 30 million won) and (Go Gil-dong, F,1705, $%$% (encrypted 40 million won)) (303), for example. Theaforementioned data is just an example and the present disclosure is notlimited thereto.

The first database 100 may identify whether the extracted data is theencrypted column data included in the encrypted column (403).

When the extracted data is the encrypted column data, the first database100 may security-process the encrypted column data and transfer thecorresponding encrypted column data to the second database 200 (405).The first database 100 may security-process the encrypted column dataamong the extracted data (304) and transfer the corresponding encryptedcolumn data to the second database 200. The security-processing mayinclude an operation of changing the encrypted column data to null data.The null data (the null value of column 4 in reference numeral 304 inthe example of FIG. 2) may prevent the encrypted column data from beingexposed.

The second database 200 may receive data transmitted from the firstdatabase 100 (411). The data transmitted from the first database 100 mayinclude data included in the non-encrypted column 330 of the table 300and null data included in the encrypted column. The data may includedata of columns 1 to 4 of reference numeral 304 in the example of FIG. 2and the description of FIG. 2 is just an example and does not limit thepresent disclosure.

The second database 200 reproduces a transaction performed in the firstdatabase 100 with respect to the data transmitted from the firstdatabase in a null data state with respect to the encrypted column andprocesses the transaction before commit to generate the change data 305(413). Since the encrypted column in the change data 305 includes onlythe null data, the second database 200 may reflect the null data to theencrypted column.

The second database 200 may request to the first database 100 theencrypted column data corresponding to the null data (415). Since anactual value is not recorded in the second database 200 as a value (forexample, the value of the salary column in the example of FIG. 2) of theencrypted column data in the current state, the second database 200 mayrequest the actual value to the first database.

In response to the request, the first database 100 may read and decryptthe encrypted column data in the table of the first database to generatethe decrypted encrypted column data 333 (421). The first database 100may cause the first management module 130 having the legitimate accessright to generate the decrypted encrypted column data 333 by accessingthe encrypted column data in response to the request of the seconddatabase.

The first database 100 may encrypt the decrypted encrypted column datawith the first security module key to generate the re-encryptedencrypted column data (423). When the decrypted encrypted column data istransmitted through the network, there is a risk that the sensitiveinformation may be exposed to the network in the decrypted state.Therefore, the first database 100 may re-encrypt the decrypted encryptedcolumn data with the first security module key.

The first database 100 may transfer the re-encrypted encrypted columndata to the second database 200 (425).

The second database 200 decrypts the re-encrypted encrypted column datareceived from the first database 100 with the second security module keyto generate the decrypted encrypted column data (431). The secondsecurity module key may be a symmetric key to the first security modulekey, and the first database 100 and the second database 200 may exchangethe symmetric keys in advance through a predetermined key exchangealgorithm.

The second database 200 may update the decrypted encrypted column datato the encrypted column which is in the null data state of the table ofthe second database and then, commit the updated decrypted encryptedcolumn data (433). The null data may be, for example, a dummy value suchas null or a state in which the data is empty. Referring to FIG. 2, thetransaction of the second database 200 may be constituted by an insert(Hong Gil-dong, M, 1604, null), an update (Go Gil-dong, F, 1705, null),and an update of (Go Gil-dong, F, 1705, 40 million won). The disclosureof FIG. 2 is just an example and the present disclosure is not limitedthereto.

Since the first database 100 and the second database 200 have the uniquekeys, encryption keys of the first and second databases may bedifferent. Therefore, when the encrypted data extracted from the redolog of the first database is transmitted to the second database as itis, the encrypted data in the second database 200 may not be decrypted.Therefore, a module having an access right to the encrypted column ofthe first database 100 needs to secure the decrypted data and transferthe secured decrypted data to the second database 200, but the securityproblem may occur when the decrypted data is transferred to the seconddatabase 200 through the common network. Accordingly, according to anexemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first securitymodule 110 re-encrypts the data of the encrypted column decrypted by thelegitimate access right and transfers the re-encrypted data of theencrypted column to the second database 200, thereby preventing thesecurity problem in which the data of the decrypted encrypted column isexposed onto the network.
